I code a simple php/mysql web page, that there is page1.php, page2.php and so on. Because I make use of the database on every page (or at least the 90% of them) I place on the top of them the standard

mysql_connect("localhost"," "," ");
mysql_select_db(" ");
.
.
mysql_close();

with my queries.

My question is do I really need to connect to the database on each page or is there any way to avoid this and still stay connected? Some of the pages are linked to the others and I can make use of SESSIONS to post some variables, but my question goes to something more globalized.

    You can use mysql_pconnect for a persistent connection, although its not going to help you that much and it can be a big pain to do properly. Its almost just better to connect on every page, especially if the database server is running on the same machine as the php server.
